75: The middle stage of foundation building!

Wei Zhou excitedly slipped the Storage Ring onto his finger, and with a flip of his hand, he took out the dozen or so jade boxes from within!

He opened the jade boxes one by one!

Among the dozen or so jade boxes, eight contained spirit seeds! The remaining six jade boxes held six portions of medicinal herbs! However, he recognized most of these herbs and spirit seeds!

He only recognized one of them, a Medium Grade second-tier medicinal plant called Profound Yellow Grass! It was one of the main ingredients for refining the foundation establishment pill! If it were to be used as a main ingredient for refining foundation establishment pills, it would need to be around 200 years old!

Wei Zhou only glanced at it a few more times before ignoring it! After all, he wasn't an Alchemist, so these medicinal plants were of no use to him!

On the other hand, among the spirit seeds, there was one he could plant! That was the Three-Descent Soul-Returning Grass! A Low Grade second-tier medicinal plant!

He had already reached the pinnacle of the First Grade Medicine Herb Master and his next step was to advance to a second-tier Medicine Herb Master!

......

After an incense stick's worth of time, Wei Zhou finished tallying his gains from this trip! He put them all into the Storage Ring on his right finger!

He caressed the Storage Ring, unable to put it down!

He then took the Storage Ring off his right finger and placed it into his Storage Pouch!

With joy evident on his face, he said,

"With so many resources, it won't be a problem to stay hidden in this valley for a hundred years! Why don't I just stay hidden in this valley for a hundred years then! I'll wait until I reach the Golden Core Stage before doing anything else!"

In just a few short sentences, he had made up his mind to remain hidden until he reached the Golden Core Stage before venturing out!

Then, his figure flickered, appearing outside the pavilion, and then he used his movement technique, moving and shifting like a ghost, appearing dozens of feet away in an instant!

Not long after, he arrived near the medicinal field! He collected about one cubic meter of soil into his Storage Pouch!

He directly used the Earth Evasion Spell, and a few breaths later, he appeared inside his Immortal Cave!

He transplanted about one cubic meter of soil from his Storage Pouch into a corner of the room!

He took out the spirit seeds of the Three-Descent Soul-Returning Grass from his Storage Pouch and planted them! Considering there wasn't enough light in the Immortal Cave, Wei Zhou flicked his finger, and a wisp of Mana, invisible to the naked eye, shot out from his hand!

Above where the Three-Descent Soul-Returning Grass was planted, he opened a one-foot-sized hole! This was to ensure that the Three-Descent Soul-Returning Grass could absorb sufficient light!

Immediately, Wei Zhou returned to the central futon and added several hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones to the Formation Plate!

Then, he added several hundred Medium-Grade Spirit Stones to the Spirit Gathering Array, and the Spiritual Qi content in the entire Immortal Cave surged!

Wei Zhou took a deep breath, feeling as if the air was filled with the scent of Spiritual Qi!

Then, with a flip of his hand, he pulled out several thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch! They directly piled up into a small mountain in front of him!

Afterward, he began to Cultivate his Cultivation Technique...

In the blink of an eye, several years had passed!

On this day, Wei Zhou's Immortal Cave suddenly erupted with an aura far surpassing the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage!

Inside the Immortal Cave, he abruptly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing within them, and let out a long breath of turbid Qi, saying,

"It's the fourth year since I arrived in this Small World! I've finally broken through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage!"

He slowly stood up and patted the dust off his shoulders!

This time, it took him a full half-month to Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage! His body was covered in dust!

Then, he cast his gaze forward!

Two small mountains of Spirit Stones in front of him entered his sight, but the luster on these Spirit Stones had already dimmed! Clearly, they had all been exhausted!

He waved his sleeve, and the two piles of Spirit Stone mountains in front of him instantly turned into powder and slowly dispersed!

Wei Zhou walked to the Three-Descent Soul-Returning Grass! At this moment, the Three-Descent Soul-Returning Grass was almost mature, with only about two or three years left until full maturity!

Normally, the maturation cycle of the Three-Descent Soul-Returning Grass is around 400 years! The fact that it's almost mature in just two or three years is all thanks to the Ripening (Accelerated Growth) entry!

In these past few years, he had used many Accelerated Growth entries! Now, this Three-Descent Soul-Returning Grass was already over three hundred years old!

Then, Wei Zhou's figure flickered, and when he reappeared, he was near the medicinal field!

Now that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, the richness of the Mana in his body was several times more than when he was still in the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, comparable to a typical Foundation Establishment Late Stage!

His comprehension of Mana also far surpassed that of the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage!

Wei Zhou looked towards the medicinal field, where several entries lay quietly at this moment!

This medicinal field had been harvested once by him for entries in the past few years! At this moment, he didn't have many entries left in his mind!

Entry: [Name: [Weak Mana] × 3] (Mature, can be harvested)

Entry: [Name: [Abundant Mana] × 1] (Mature, can be harvested)

Entry: [Name: [Lifespan Spring] × 1] After use, lifespan increases by 250 years.

Entry: [Name: [Epiphany Card] × 1] (After use, experience an Epiphany on the spot! An Epiphany can at least lead to a Breakthrough of one minor Realm! Plus, one Cultivation Technique or Martial Skill can be cultivated to Major Achievement Perfection!)

Wei Zhou's gaze fell upon the [Epiphany Card] entry, and his pupils couldn't help but contract! Epiphany, many Cultivators never encounter it once in their entire lives! Except for those Prodigies and Prodigies with extraordinary talent who can encounter an Epiphany!

Epiphany, a mysterious and profound state! Some Prodigies with extraordinary talent, when Cultivating! There is a very small probability of entering an Epiphany state! After an Epiphany, one's Realm will increase by at least one minor Realm!

It is something that can be encountered but not sought after!

The duration of an Epiphany can be as short as a month, or as long as several years, ten years, or even a hundred years! However, if one can truly reach a hundred years, then their Realm will at least Breakthrough one or two major Realms!

Immediately, Wei Zhou walked into the medicinal field, and with a flip of his hand, he took out a medicinal sickle from his Storage Pouch!

He began to harvest these medicinal plants!

......

Not long after, the medicinal field became bare, with only the roots of the medicinal plants still embedded in the soil of the medicinal field!

Wei Zhou did not pull these medicinal plants out by the roots, but rather left their roots to allow new ones to grow later!

Then, he immersed his mind in his thoughts!

In his mind, there were indeed four new entries lying quietly!

Then he returned his mind to his body, and with a thought, a phantom panel appeared before his eyes!
